THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS
A summer afternoon in
the Year of Grace 1757...
...- on a hilltop overlooking
the valley of the Hudson River.
Two tragic figures, remmants
of a once huge Indian tribe...
...Chief Great Serpent
and his son, Uncas.
"The pale faces are our friends.
Go to the Fort yonder...
...and tell them of the
danger that threatens."
FORT EDWARD:
One of the few English...
...outposts not yet attacked...
...by the invading armies of France.
Even in a wilderness,
gently-bred women...
...somehow maintain the grace
and dignity of life.
Cora Munro, a soldier's daughter
on a visit to Fort Edward.
Alice, her light-hearted sister...
...whom Cora has mothered
from childhood.
Captain Randolph,
more interested in...
...women than in warfare.
Major Heyward - in love
with capricious Alice.
The eternal spirit of youth,
joying while it may - heed-...
...less of the gathering storm.
"Do tell us a story,
General Webb."
"The Hurons are on the
warpath. They have drunk...
...the firewater of the French...
...and have listened to
lying tongues."
Her girlish fancy investing...
...the young Chief with a
halo of romance.
"Surely among his own
people he is a prince."
"You! - The daughter of
Colonel Munro! - ...
...Admiring a filthy savage!"
Two days' march from Fort
Edward - Colonel Munro,...
...father of the girls, stoutly
resisting the French assault...
...upon Fort William Henry.
"Three French divisions
under Montcalm...
...have crossed the lake!
Men - horses - guns!"
Magua - an Indian runner in
the service of the British.
"God grant my messenger
has reached Fort Edward - ...
...else I may never see my
daughters again!"
General Webb and his staff,
summoned to hear...
...the message of
Colonel Munro.
"Montcalm and his...
...Indian allies advancing...
...to attack Fort William...
...Henry. 3.000 men no lesscan...
...save us." MUNRO.
"A good opportunity to...
...rejoin your father. But you...
...need not ride all the way...
...with the troops, as the...
...Indian, Magua, knows a...
...short-cut through the forest."
Bedtime - with Alice unable
to sleep for excitement.
"There is nothing to fear -
we shall soon be with father."
Haunted by a premonition
of evil - a vague dread...
...which Cora's reassurance
fails to banish.
"Promise me - whatever
happens - ...
...you will never
desert me!"
Dawn
"Are you the guide?"
"Perhaps Captain Randolph...
...will aid Major Heyward in
protecting the ladies?"
"With your permission, sir,...
...I will ride with my men -
my duty lies with them."
The forest - and the
parting of ways.
A secret path, which only
Indian eyes can find.
"I'm David Gamut, a servant...
...of the Lord. Permit me to...
...ride with you to William...
...Henry whither I am going...
...to sing psalms for our...
...brave soldiers."
Hours later - drench and...
...discouraged in a
blinding rainstorm.
Storm-bound woodsmen -
Uncas, his father, and their...
...friend, Hawkeye, the scout.
"In which direction lies
Fort William Henry?...
...Our Indian guide has
lost his way!"
"An Indian lost in the woods?
Impossible! Were he blind,...
...he would nose the earth -...
...and every blade of grass
would tell the way!"
"He's gone!"
"I suspect the varmint
covets your scalps!
Come - these woods
are no longer safe!"
In a cave near Glenn's
Falls - a hiding place...
...known only to Hawkeye
and the Mohicans.
"Uncas watches."
The bond of a common danger
drawing together these two,
...so widely separated by
the mystery of birth.

James Fenimore Cooper

James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 – September 14, 1851) was an American writer of the first half of the 19th century. His historical romances draw a picture of frontier and American Indian life in the early American days which created a unique form of American literature. He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned. Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and contributed generously to it. He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society.Cooper served in the U.S. Navy as a midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counter-espionage set during the American Revolutionary War and published in 1821. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Cooper's works on the U.S. Navy have been well received among naval historians, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece (although it was mercilessly mocked by Mark Twain). more…
